 Ethics

► The term is derived from the Greek word ethos which can mean custom, habit,
character or disposition. At its simplest, ethics is a system of moral principles.
Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is also
described as moral philosophy.
► The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and
recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior.
 Ethical Theories

► Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas:
► Meta-ethics
► Normative ethics
► Applied ethics.
 Conclusion

group of people. An example of ethics is a code of conduct set by a business.
